Gandalf possesses a deep understanding of the nature of individuals and their potential, often drawing on his wisdom and experience as a powerful wizard. He can see qualities in Bilbo—such as courage and resourcefulness—that Bilbo himself may not recognize. Additionally, Gandalf's knowledge of the larger world and its history allows him to perceive how Bilbo's actions and choices could have significant consequences, even if Bilbo is unaware of them. This insight enables Gandalf to guide Bilbo on his journey of self-discovery.

In 'The Hobbit' why does Gandalf knock on the door hard?
Because the previous morning, Gandalf had "scratched a queer sign on the hobbit's beautiful green front door" as a sign so that the dwarves would know that Bilbo was the one he had chosen to go on their adventure with them. By knocking very hard on the mark with his staff, Gandalf put a dent in the wood over top of where the sign had been, erasing any evidence that it had been there. That way, Bilbo would not blame Gandalf for all of the dwarves coming to his house to take him on an adventure.
How do the dwarves know how to find biblos house?

Additionally, the dwarves likely rely on their collective experience and instincts as travelers to find their way.
How old is Bilbo in the Lord of the Rings?
The Maia itself, known to us as Gandalf, is older than the world. In the shape of Gandalf he arrived in the Grey Havens in Middle-earth about the year 1000 of the Third Age. He is killed in that form on 25th January 3019 T.A., and returns to it on 14th February. Gandalf leaves Middle-earth in autumn 3021 T.A., and from then on nothing more is known about him. So we do not reliably know how long he keeps being bound to his "Gandalf" form, or which form he chooses to generally use.As you can see, we cannot say how long "Gandalf the White" lasted beyond the 2 1/2 years before he left. Unless you mean the "Gandalf" form overall, which would then be at least a thousand years, or the actual spirit/being regardless of form, which would be older then the created world/universe.
